Friday, October 17th, undergraduate and graduate students attended a bonfire and Trojan horse-burning at Holy Cross Hill hosted by the Classics Club.

The Classics Club hosts a semi-annual bonfire on the evening before Notre Dame’s football match with rival USC, whose mascot is the Trojans. This year, the bonfire also provided students with an opportunity to celebrate their first half of the semester and upcoming fall break, making for a memorable and fun social experience for Classics students outside of class.

Future Classics Club events include their upcoming Saturnalia holiday party on Tuesday, December 9th.
